Mr. Nguyen Huy Toan (Hanoi) had a traffic accident and could not apply for unemployment benefits. He is wondering if he can apply online to receive unemployment benefits?
Hanoi Social Insurance said:
Currently, the application for unemployment benefits can be submitted online on the National Public Service Portal at dichvucong.gov.vn. According to regulations, employees receiving unemployment benefits do not have to directly notify monthly if they are sick with confirmation from a competent medical facility.
Employees must inform the Employment Service Center (via phone, email, fax...) about the reason for not having to come directly to notify and within 3 working days from the last day of the monthly notification period for job search as prescribed.
At the same time, the employee must send a registered letter or authorize another person to submit the original or a certified copy of one of the above documents proving that he/she is not required to notify directly to the employment service center where he/she is receiving unemployment insurance. Except in special cases. In case of sending by post, the date considered to have sent the notice is the date of sending on the postmark.
Thus, readers submit their application through the National Public Service Portal to receive unemployment benefits and at the same time notify the Employment Service Center (via phone or email) of their employment status about the reason for not being able to come within 3 working days from the last day of the monthly notification period for job search as prescribed above.
